Yinzhen sighed and said: "That's all, she is your mother-in-law after all. As you said, there are no bad parents in the world. She has made countless mistakes, but they cannot equal her contribution to giving birth to and raising you." After a pause.
After a pause, he spoke again: "I promise you, if you come back victorious, I will use your merits to make up for Chen's mistakes and let her return to the position of concubine!"
Yunli was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen pulled him up and said: "Okay, go back and prepare. I will order the firearms camp to pack up and set off immediately. We should be able to set off in two days. To avoid causing greater losses, we must arrive as soon as possible!"
"I understand." After Yunli agreed, he lowered his head and retreated. When he stepped out of the palace gate, he unexpectedly saw Hongli and Hong Zhou waiting there. Seeing him coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. Hongli spoke first.
Said: "Uncle Seventeen, do you really want to go to the border?"
Yunli smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already agreed, how can there be any lies?"
"But the border is dangerous, I'm worried about Seventeenth Uncle..." Before Hongli could finish his words, Yunli interrupted: "What are you worried about? Your Majesty has even assigned the firearms battalion to Seventeenth Uncle. Ge
No matter how powerful Erdan's muskets and artillery are, they cannot be as powerful as our firearms camp."
Hong Zhou clenched his fists at the side and said: "Uncle Seventeen is right, we can definitely defeat Zhun Geer. When the time comes, Uncle Seventeen will definitely beat them to a pulp and see if they dare to invade our Qing Dynasty next time."
!" After that, he said: "Uncle Seventeen, I will transport the food and grass to you as soon as possible, don't worry."
"Uncle Seventeen will naturally feel at ease with you in charge." At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "What I am most worried about now is the person who leaked the secret, Fourth Brother. If there is such a person, you must catch him.
Come out, otherwise if we let the news leak, we will not be able to win even if we have more firearms and food."
Hong Zhou also frowned and said: "They burned most of the food and grass last time. If it is burned again this time, the soldiers will really be hungry."
"Uncle Seventeen, I always find this matter very strange. Why does this person want to help Jungar?" As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Hongzhou snorted coldly: "What's so strange? It must be Jungar."
He was promised so many benefits that he even forgot his last name."
Yunli said: "Of course this is one possibility. The other possibility is that Zhun Geer sent a spy to hang out among us a long time ago. You go back and check the people in the military department to see if you can find any clues."
"Uncle Seventeen, in your opinion, could it be that the Minister of War and the left and right ministers are the ones who know the marching route best besides the two of us?"
Facing Hongli's inquiry, Yunli shook his head and said: "These three people have been in the court for many years and have been officials in the court for several generations. They should not be able to do so."
Seeing that there was no result if he continued to ask, Hong Li said: "Then Hong Zhou and I will go to the Ministry of War immediately to check other officials. Uncle Seventeen, please take care. I will see you off the next day."
Yunli smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go."
Hongli didn't say anything more. After bowing to Yunli, he left with Hongzhou. Yunli also returned to Prince Guo's Mansion. The first thing he did after entering the mansion was to see Mrs. Chen. It happened that
Fu Ying and Meng were both there, and they didn't know what had happened. She was kneeling on the ground with a look of fear, while Meng was standing next to Chen, with a hint of pride in her eyes.
Yunli frowned slightly and said, "Mother, what happened? Why is Fu Ying..."
Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, pointed to a piece of clothing with dark purple clouds and splendid crane patterns on the table and said, "Ask yourself what your direct descendant Fujin did. What did he say that he made a piece of clothing for me with his own hands?
As a result, there was a long needle in the clothes. Fortunately, Meng
You must have sharp eyes and discover it in time, otherwise if it is stabbed into the body, you may lose your life." After saying that, he stared at Fu Ying and said: "Since you entered Prince Guo's palace, I asked myself why I have never treated you poorly.
So vicious, you actually want my life!"
Fu Ying shook her head repeatedly and said in fear: "Eniang, calm down. My wife has never had any intention of harming Eniang. My daughter-in-law carefully inspected this dress before it was sent to her. She didn't find anything abnormal, and she doesn't know how this injection came about."
of."
Hearing this, Mrs. Meng twisted the long needle on her clothes and said, "It's unbelievable that my sister didn't notice such a long needle."
Mrs. Chen ignored her, glanced at Yunli and said, "This is your direct descendant Fujin. Please tell me how to deal with it."
Yunli looked at Fu Ying, who looked frightened and nervous, and said to Mrs. Chen: "Mother, Fu Ying has always been filial to you, has thorough etiquette, and has a gentle and virtuous temperament. My son believes that she will not harbor any inappropriate thoughts."
Mrs. Chen's face darkened and she said coldly: "According to what you say, E Niang deliberately wronged her?"
"My son didn't mean that. I think the whole thing was just a misunderstanding. Besides, my mother wasn't hurt at all, so why not... let's just forget about it."
Seeing that he was so obviously protecting Fu Ying, Chen became even more displeased and said coldly: "According to what you said, you have to wait until I am injured or even die before anything goes wrong, right?"
"Son, that's not what I meant, it's just..." Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Chen had already waved her hand and said, "Okay, I can't control you, the prince, so you can do as you like."
Yunli didn't say anything, just asked Fu Ying and Meng to go out. After he and Chen were the only ones left in the room, Chen said coldly: "What's the matter? I stay here to help your direct descendant Fujin."
Can you say something nice?"
"Eniang misunderstood, my son has something to tell Eniang." Yunli was silent for a while and said: "The day after tomorrow, my son will go to the border, and he will not be able to fulfill his filial piety by Eniang's side for a long time.
"
Chen frowned and said, "Bianguan? What are you going to do there?"
"Yue Zhongqi is dead. The 300,000-strong army is leaderless. The emperor has appointed his son as the new general and will set off the next day."
Mrs. Chen showed a hint of nervousness, "The border area is the most dangerous place. Even a general may lose his life if he is not careful. Why would the emperor let you go? You have never led troops before. If anything happens,
What should we do?" She said nonchalantly, and even stood up later and said, "No, I'm going to see the emperor and ask him why he wants you to lead the army. Doesn't he want your life?"
Yunli quickly grabbed her and said, "Eniang misunderstood. It was not the emperor's intention. It was my son who took the initiative to ask for the emperor's tassel."
"You?" Mrs. Chen was shocked and stared at Yunli in disbelief: "Why are you doing this? You are E Niang's only son. Do you want E Niang's white-haired person to give away her black-haired person?"
